i would say atleast keep the camaro in the back Could get someone to photo shop the camaro part in the back

You could also shave the door handles.

if u dont want to shave the door handles it would look nice to just shave the key holes i think


there's a guy on here w/ a black v6 with silver stripes that has the "camaro" shaved but i cant remember his name...maybe he'll chime in...if i remember right it looks a little plain and kinda strange since you never see it

My whole car is shaved.


Pics at www.camarocasanova.freeservers.com


Shaved:

Doors
antennae
hood emblem
key holes
rear bumper-license plate, side markers
tail light filler panel -CAMARO and keyhole
emblems
gas tank door

Oh yeah, suicide doors too.


I HIGHLY recommend NOT shaving the door handles and key holes. Good luck getting them straight.

You will hate yourself later for doing it. Mine are relatively good, but it took like 7 times (no lie)

greg_pl...since your licence plate doesnt fit in the bumper maybe you could mount it where the "camaro" is supposed to be (it looks like it would fit nicely) then fill in the bumper somehow...i dont know how it would look when done though...

Local 'traffic department' promised me to get square, us-sized license plate next month.. well, that was about two years ago
As for the key holes - SpeedSpecialty got some cool 'smooth locks' to cover them.

I agree you can shave all of that other stuff but definately keep the CAMARO in the Back its a neccasary styling element.


Later,

I never have done any shaving before. I did it once 3 years ago and it came out perfect. Still cant see where the handles were.

WOW a 4th gen Camaro in Poland??? That must be super rare!

My brother took his Limited eddition 84 TA in Yugoslavia back in 1988 and it was one of a kind! Over the years, I saw a few more 3rd gen Firebirds in Yugoslavia, and Hungary, but none as nice as his 84! that thing is rare! Too bad he left it there sitting for the past 10 years!
